I’m guessing the FAFSA was correct. Uconn does not guarantee to meet full need…for anyone. This student is not low income…or did I miss that he qualifies for a Pell Grant? His family can pay $18,000 a year for his college education for the upcoming year. There are tons of kids whose families can’t pay anything.
CT does not have a program like Bright Futures or Calgrant or TAP for all lower income students.
But we do have a variety of public higher education options.
One I didn’t mention in my previous post…the community college system is extensive…and does have articulation agreements with many of the four year schools in the state…public and private.
Another thing some students do…they attend one of the CSUs for a year or two and transfer to UConn to complete their bachelors degrees. I will say, I know a number of students who intended to do this, but they actually liked the CSU campus where they were enrolled, and completed their degree there.
